Away Match Day Thread 01/01/24: L1 - Charlton Athletic v OUFC

[Northstandboy]

Have to say I’m not looking forward to this one.

 

[Upthecowboys]

I hope our players have more balls than some of our fans!

Still got enough to get a good result today. We need to tinker a bit, but there are options.

I’d be tempted to have Harris on the right, RR down the middle with Cam in behind.

Really looking forward to it. Hope us fans play our part today, it’s a cracking away trip. Bring it on!

So today we go into battle at The Valley.
I feel a a victory akin to Rorke’s Drift is on the cards .

Hopefully not the Valley of Death.

They’ve got the balls. Just an injury ravaged squad knackered from being expected to play at the top of its game 3 times in 8 days. Madness.

Happy New Year all!

With the new year comes a surge of optimism for me. Feel like we always do reasonably well at the Valley and today will be no different. Comfortable 2-0 win. Harris will score, their fans will turn on the team early, and Brown will bag a second from a corner to send them into meltdown.

COYY!

From Charlton athletic highlights they seem to shoot on sight/from distance with ~1/10 shots being worked into the box. It looks like they're still playing football and not given up so I dont think they'll be there for the taking.
Bore draw. 2-2 something like that.

Am more than hopeful

Old-style diamond formation according to the OM. (I remember when Ossie Ardiles caused quite a stir with it back in the day.)

I actually really like the look of this for us. Presumably full backs will have license to go forward and provide the width and crosses will come in. Gives me more confidence than I had 10 minutes ago and Mills and Bodin to throw on is nice too. Also not opposed to the energy of Woltman being available. I really liked the look of him in pre season.

Another bonus for us is that Slobodan Tedic is out for the Addicks.

May and Tedic are big absentees.

Good to see Oisin get a start. May help McGuane or at least give him an incentive to play better?

Anyone know what's happening with Golding? Recalled from a loan spell where he has been playing regular football to not being involved in any squads here. He would be a option on the bench I would have thought

I'm pretty sure I saw both him and Josh Johnson on the lengthy injury list somewhere.
